Install

1

Download the installer

From the Download Center - a 255 KB Windows setup app.

2

Run it

Double-click NovaAI-Setup-1.0.0.exe, approve the Windows prompt, and let setup download and install Nova into Program Files.

3

Launch

Launch Nova from the setup finish page, Start Menu, or desktop shortcut. Press Ctrl K to begin.

SmartScreen on first run

Because the app is newly released, Windows may show SmartScreen. Choose More info → Run anyway only after verifying the checksum.

Verify it’s genuine

To be certain the file wasn’t altered, match its SHA-256 checksum on the download page before running Nova.

That’s it

Nova is installed. Continue with Voice Commands or the Getting Started overview.
